Highland Evening Shoes - Revisited

[artificer]

Kyle,

Well I think a slip on shoe of that type would look just fine with evening wear. I don't know if you are familiar with Sanders Shoes? http://sanders-uk.com I acquired a pair of Braemar's from their "Uniform" range very recently, for daywear and they are made to a very high standard. The have an extensive selection and you might find something to suit?

For example:

I just admit, these are damned fine looking shoes.

I tend to avoid slip-ons, as my gigantic duck feet either don't fit into them or they tend to be too visually light on the uppers. (which is the same reason I'd most likely never do the Mary Jane style formal shoe)- I tend to prefer a laced shoe like the Balmoral (or somewhat incorrectly- a Derby/Blucher/some Oxfords- depending on where you're shoe shopping).

These are substantial enough to look like they might actually work on my huge flappy feet. Although the sole is a 'bit' thicker than I'd prefer for formal wear.

Nice thread, Kyle. I do love hashing out the minutia of an interest!
